There is a web site that I’m about to start working on that is basically all HTML and does not have any server side languages included in it. The person that owns the site wants me to add a new form to the site that would definitely need some server side logic. Since I know C# I would want to make the pages using C# webforms using VS 2010. The whole deployment aspect of this project is hard for me to grasp though.
I may be over thinking this whole scenario, but is there anything out of the ordinary i need to do in order to ensure that these new webforms get deployed with the already existing web site? What steps do I need to take?
I would just create a new ASP.NET Web Site Project or Application, and copy all of the HTML files and dependent folders into the project. If there are a lot of pages this could prove cumbersome, but getting it to work shouldn’t be too difficult.
When you deploy the application, you’ll just need to make sure that the host is configured to run ASP.NET applications.
